This has been the hardest decision ever! Just attended a wildcat and left just as confused as when I’d entered. Any input (program, location, student life and personality) would be amazing!
I understand your dilemma. When our son applied to college both Northwestern University (but not Medill) & Georgetown SFS were among his top three target schools. It might help if you think about your second or third majors at Northwestern. For example, it might be a foreign language & economics. Georgetown SFS is essentially a double major because of the foreign language study requirement.
There is a very significant difference between living in DC versus the Chicago suburb of Evanston. Issue of personal preference.
